What To Expect
Your day begins with pickup at your hotel, or at the downtown Visitor Center, in our comfortable Mercedes Sprinter van. Pickups are between 7:45 and 8:30AM, depending on location. As we head out of Anchorage your guide will talk about the City's history and key points of interest. Journeying north on the Glenn Highway your guide will share interesting information about the Matanuska Valley and the various communities along the way. After about 30 minutes, the natural beauty of the drive takes over as we enjoy the view of the Talkeetna and Chugach mountains and, on a clear day, the Alaska Range. The Matanuska River is our companion as we ascend to the Matanuska Glacier and arrive for your guided hike. The glacier guides will outfit you with ice spikes and helmets (in the summer); there are also hiking poles available for your use. These guides are experts in what the glacier has to offer each day, as well as its natural history. There will be lots of opportunities for great photos! After your approximately 2-hour adventure on the ice we head next door for lunch at an authentic Alaska lodge with an epic view of the glacier. Heading home after lunch we have the option to pull of at some scenic points in case you haven't gotten enough pictures for the day. 8 hours - $249.00 Departs 8:30 am Included: Glacier access and guiding Not included: Lunch, gratuities

5.00One of the best and most unique experiences I have had! The drive to the glacier was very beautiful. And our guide Lori stopped at scenic spot to let us take pictures. The hike itself was also extremely cool. They took us to a variety of glacier formations/landscapes and it was very interactive. The experience exceeded our expectation. After the hike, Lori took us to this beautiful restaurant that overlooks the glaciers. Big shoutout to our wonderful guide Lori, who told us so many interesting stories and facts throughout the trip and made this experience truly heartwarming and wholesome. She is also a really great driver!

5.00Fantastic day! I was in Anchorage on business with only one day to do something amazing. Lori and the team at 907 tours provided everything I could have hoped for. The glacier hike was gorgeous, the trip there from Anchorage was stunning, and our guide on the glacier was exceptional. Lori took us to lunch at a lodge overlooking the glacier with an incredible view (reasonably priced). She stopped multiple times along the way to allow the group to take pictures. She was delightful throughout the trip and very knowledgeable on the area. Would definitely use 907 again. Highly recommend. PS shoe spikes are provided for the glacier hike, so no worries.

5.00The Glacier hike was one of the coolest hikes I’ve ever done, and I’ve done a lot of hiking over the years. The shuttle driver Billy was a great host on the way there and back from anchorage. I sat up front with him and we exchanged hiking stories. He was a good driver and super friendly! Our guide was very knowledgeable and super friendly and funny too. Overall a great experience and I would go a second time if I’m ever in the area again.

5.00What a wonderful and informative tour. It WAS cold; so dress accordingly. The glaciers were indescribably beautiful and the tour guide, Jason, was knowledgeable, kind, funny and just plain nice. It was obvious he loved his job and Alaska in general. Our driver, Lori, was also amazing. She kept us informed with so much information, and stories. Then she took us to a most magnificent place to eat afterwards. 100% recommend!
Worth the money Book it!

5.00This tour was absolutely phenomenal. Billy was an amazing guide for us and we had a small group so it was great to get to know each other and he made many stops on the way back to check out even more things. Our hike with Petra on the glacier was amazing as well. The price is absolutely worth it. Do not hesitate to book.

5.00We had a great experience. Tony provided the transportation to the glacier with some insightful explanations about Alaska. Chris provided the glacier tour and did a great job explaining the details - I finally learned how moraines actually work. Overall a great vacation day.
